The Ghana Football Association has officially  written to CAF to express its intentions to appeal against the CAF Disciplinary decision to ban the Black Maidens from next two editions of U-17 championships and qualification.

This was contained in a press statement on Thursday.

According to the GFA, it paid the relevant appeal filing fees in accordance with Article 58 of the CAF
Disciplinary Code.

The GFA added that they send the Statement of case of Appeal containing the reasons for the Appeal within the further seven (7) days allowed per Article 55 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.

This comes after The Confederation of African Football announced the ban of Ghana’s U17 Female side over age-cheating. The ban means Ghana not be competing in the next two editions of the U-17 championships and qualification.

Two Black Maidens players in Nancy Amoh and Rasheeda Shashadu age were falsified during the first leg encounter against Morocco in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium where the Maidens won 2-0.

The Moroccans after the game filed a protest. However, the Ghana Football Association were tightlipped on the North African country age-cheating claims.

CAF also fined Ghana $100,000 due to the age falsification.
